Digital embossing

 

One of the things I love about using digital stamps like this zentangle fairy from FCD is the ability to use digital effects.  It is easy enough to print a white image on a colored background, and equally easy to use a bevel effect to make the image look like it is embossed onto the paper.  Of course, you can feel the embossing, but this card has plenty of texture without it.  the light purple cardstock has a metallic weave texture, and the dark purple cardstock has little swiss dots.  It was fun punching the border, and the flower is from a silk hydrangea bush.  That is a metal nailhead as the flower's center - I needed to break up the symmetry.
